Cultists, after the success of Frankenstein & Dracula, Universal decided ‘if you can't beat them, join them’ and entered into a partnership with Hammer. 1st film in that collaboration was '59’s The Mummy. Not a remake, more of a Greatest Hits of the franchise. Please join us for the Dissection

Cultists, eager to keep their hit streak going, Universal released The Mummy in '32. Bringing back Frankenstein star Boris Karloff, and with Dracula's cinematographer in the director's chair. The film capitalized on an Egyptian craze in the era, and spawned one of horror’s most enduring franchises.

Cultists, we've been inspired by the release of The Bride! to put Frank Roddam's film of the same name on the Exam Table. Taking 35’s Bride Of Frankenstein as a jumping off point. The film reimagines The Monster and Bride as star crossed lovers to mixed results. Please join us for the Dissection.

Cultists, your Horror Hosts are heading back to Castle Frankenstein. In the late 1950’s Horror had largely moved away from Gothic period pieces and on to Alien Invaders and Atomic Monsters. Terence Fisher's The Curse Of Frankenstein brought the Gothic back, this time in glorious Eastman Color.

Cultists, there's a handful of remakes that eclipse the original in the public consciousness. Kaufman's Invasion Of The Body Snatchers is one of those. Moving the setting into SF and giving it the vibe of a paranoid thriller. It has some of the most iconic images of '70s cinema.

Cultists, it's the 70th anniversary of Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. Something about the B-Movie captured the zeitgeist of the era, and it became a cult classic after its reassessment by the cinephile crowd. So seems like a good time to put it on the Exam Table. Please join us for the Dissection.

We’ve been on a bit of Western/Horror kick lately, and in that genre one film has been repeatedly recommended by the Cultists, S. Craig Zahler’s Bone Tomahawk. The 2015 Cult Classic is part Revisionist Western and part Cannibal Horror, so we didn't take much convincing to put it in the Exam Table.

Happy New Year, Cultists! We're putting Noah Hawley’s Alien:Earth on the Exam Table. Hawley has a knack for taking classic films and expanding on their themes to make great television. Also this Ep in lieu of theVault Of Darkness segment, N&D will be running down their Year End Favorites of 2025!

Cultists, we aren't done with The Overlook Hotel yet or maybe it's not done with us. With 2019’s Doctor Sleep, Mike Flanagan attempted the impossible, reconciling King's vision of The Shining with Kubrick’s & sequalizing both. Was he successful? Please join us for the Dissection. #doctorsleep

Cultists, The Shining is 45 years old this year. So it's time for your Horror Hosts to head up to The Overlook Hotel and put Kubrick's psychological horror masterpiece on the Exam Table. Hopefully we don't get snowed in. #theshining #theshiningmovie #stanleykubrick #stephenking #jacknicholson

Cultists. Gothic Horror maestro Guillermo del Toro’s long awaited adaptation of Frankenstein has dropped and your Horror Hosts put it on the Exam Table. GDT has assembled a monster film, taking elements from the most iconic versions of the story and filtering them through his own sensibility.

Well Cultists, this month sees the release of Edgar Wright’s adaptation of The Running Man by Stephen King, & you know your Horror Hosts won't pass up an excuse to throw a Schwarzenegger film on the Exam Table, so this ep we'll be looking at the 87 adaptation. Please join us for the Dissection

Cultists, 5 years after the previous entry in the series, Universal convinced Karloff to return for 1 last outing as the monster. Minus Whale’s subversive edge but with star Bela Lugosi & future star Basil Rathbone, Son Of Frankenstein marked a turning point in the Universal Horror Series.

Cultists, whenever 1 of our favorite franchises comes out with a new instalment, your Horror Hosts like to look back at the original. So this ep John McTiernan's Predator will be going on the Exam Table, in anticipation of Dan Trachtenberg’s Predator: Badlands. Please join us for the Dissection.

Cultists, The Monster Demands a Mate! Coming four years after the original, Bride Of Frankenstein arrived in a very different cinematic landscape than its predecessor. Karloff was now a Star, James Whale had more creative control, and there was the Hays Code to contend with. #brideoffrankenstein

She's ALIVE!!!! Now in our shop Stapled Spine 30! #HorrOregon #Hallowzine #pdxzines #fanzine #horror #brideoffrankenstein

Cultists, it's the 25th anniversary of Canadian Cult Classic Teen Werewolf movie Ginger Snaps! Seems like a perfect excuse for your Horror Hosts to finally put it on the Exam Table. Please join us for the Dissection. #gingersnaps #gingersnaps2000 #gingersnaps2unleashed #gingersnapsback

Cultists, despite being underwhelmed on their 1st visit, we are returning to Salem’s Lot. This ep the '24 adaptation of King’s novel will be going on the Exam Table. Released on Max & preceding Nosferatu by only 2 months this film may have slipped by you. Please join us for the Dissection

Cultists, continuing the Sinners theme. Another of the film’s oft cited influences is Salem's Lot. Adapted as a TV movie by Tobe Hooper, this Gothic Horror scarred the kids that grew up with it on tv, and gave us one of the ‘70s most iconic vampires Kurt Barlow. Please join us for the Dissection

Cultists, Sinners is a film that wore its influences on its sleeve. One obvious influence was 90s Cult Classic From Dusk Till Dawn. The film kicked off a series of collaborations between directors Rodriguez & Tarantino, but does it have more than superficial similarities to Sinners?

Cultists, because you demanded it your Horror Hosts are finally putting Ryan Coogler's Sinners on the exam table. This genre defying Vampire film has held online film discourse by the jugular since its release in April & continues to do so. Please join us for the Dissection. #sinners #ryancoogler

Cultists, your Hosts have opted to skip 28 Weeks, & jump directly to Boyle return to the franchise: 28 Years Later. Nearly three decades after the og, it's an ambitious follow-up with big tonal shifts & big thematic swings so it will be an interesting discussion. Please join us for the dissection.

Cultists, in '02 Danny Boyle and Alex Garland dropped 28 Days Later & ignited a new Zombie craze that's still ongoing. This month they're returning to that world they created so your Horror Hosts are going back to where the Rage Virus Infection first began. Please join us for the Dissection.

Friday The 13th? A hulking hockey masked machete wielding ghoul stalking teens around a summer camp, right? Wrong, in Cunningham’s original '80 Slasher, very little of that iconography was in place yet. For its 45th anniversary we're putting Friday The 13th on the Exam Table. Please join us

Cultists, we're back with the 3rd in our Twin Peaks series. This ep your Hosts will be putting Lynch's controversial film Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, on the exam table. A critical & commercial disappointment upon release, it has been reappraised in recent years but remains a challenging film.

We're back with the 2nd of our Dissections of Twin Peaks. This ep we're looking at S2. Notoriously the 2nd season struggled, with studio interference, friction between the creators, plus a ballooning cast and ep count. & yet still S2 produced some of the series most iconic moments. Please join us

Cultists, on 1/20/25 just 5 days short of his birthday the world lost David Lynch. A true auteur, Lynch was someone we held in high esteem at NSC. In response we will be putting the show that was the gateway to Lynch for so many, #TwinPeaks on the Exam Table. Please join us for the Dissection

Cultists, N&D have heard that Alien: Covenant is the most divisive film in the franchise. Scott's 2nd Alien prequel divided the fandom and any time it's discussed the internet explodes. Rest easy because your Horror Hosts are not daunted by Toxic Fandom. So please join us for the Dissection
